Indiana Jones has been every geek’s favourite adventure film donned by the iconic actor Harrison Ford. Inspiring many generations of actors with his intriguing style as an archaeologist and the valiant daredevil, the Jungle Cruise actress Emily Blunt was no different.


In a recent interview, she goes onto explain the kind of influences the legendary actor has had and what she learnt from Harrison Ford that helped her channel the same energy for her character Lily. She quipped, “I was very inspired by Harrison and loved what he did. He was so human as an action star. A little bit unslick, made him even cooler to watch. No one can wear a hat like him, so I can’t rival him in that sense. But he fell on his face and was scared, there was mayhem. But the action had a levity to it. I loved that as a kid. I rewatched all the films before I did Jungle Cruise.”
